Energy Loss Prevention

Up to 40% of U.S. energy is consumed through inefficient government, commercial, and residential buildings. Until now, saving energy meant pricey window replacements or heavy storm windows. We offer the R+ Window Insulator, a patented, super insulated, optically clear, double-paned poly carbonate window insert which fits snuggly into existing window openings by its unique rubber gasket.

Windows and doors typically contribute up to 30% of a building’s overall heating and AC loss, meaning your money is literally flying out the windows. The only thing keeping you comfortable at a freezing altitude of 30,000 feet and 30° below zero, going 550 mph, is a double-pane poly carbonate window the size of your head. With our acrylic inserts, the R+ Window Insulator brings that comfort down to earth and into your home or office. (put text next to image above)

Power Conditioners

Commercial Power Conditioner Reduces the Amount of Inductive Load in Commercial and Industrial 3-Phase, 200 Amp Service Environments. This results in lower energy bills, increased motor and appliance life, as well as surge and lightning protection for all of the electrical equipment inside of your building.

Daylighting

Why pay for it when you can just let the light shine in – freely and naturally?

Ciralight’s Active Skylights use a state-of-the-art solar powered GPS rotation control system to track the sun with a single mirror that effectively reflects sunlight into the building. The light passes through a thermal barrier, through a light well and a bottom light diffuser to effectively spread the light throughout the building.

Ciralight’s SunTracker high performance daylighting system produces up to ten times more light than a passive skylight. In addition to significant energy and cost savings, the benefits from Smart Skylights are many.

• Advanced Daylighting – Increase the amount of daylight by using active sun tracking
• The “Green” Incentive – It’s not just about lower energy bills.
• Health Benefits – The human body is yearning for daylight.
• Human Performance – Positively impact your biggest overhead cost.

Patented Solar Lens® Dome

Patented reflex optic technology gathers sunlight – even during low-light hours in the morning, late afternoon, or during the winter, to maximize light into the tube. The standard dome is made of UV resistant, non-yellowing acrylic. The dome in the Severe Weather Kit is polycarbonate. 
Patent #RE38217.

With the electric kit the skylight is converted to a ceiling light at night that works from a wall switch.

Wind Power

Harnessing the wind is not only an efficient and effective power source, it’s abundant, it’s clean and it’s your wind.

Be Wary of Sole Source Providers. If a company represents a single manufacturer, chances are they’re working for their vendor and not for you. At GreenTech we are constantly researching and negotiating dealer relationships for the most innovative and sound products in building efficiency and energy performance.

GREENTECH INSTALLED LIGHTING PRODUCTS

LED and CFL Lights

Light emitting diodes, commonly called LEDs, are real unsung heroes in the electronics world. They illuminate a variety of devices including digital clocks, Christmas lights, appliance and television screens, watches, and traffic lights. Basically, LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don’t have a filament that will burn out, and don’t get especially hot. Lit solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material, they last significantly longer than CFL’s and traditional incandescent bulbs.

Solar Lighting

Install solar lights for landscaping or hard to wire areas. Collect the power all day and use the light at night when you need it most.

Lighting Controls

Buildings are expensive energy hogs using over 70% of all electricity according to the 2006 “Buildings Energy Data Book.” Lighting controls can reduce those energy costs significantly. The use of occupancy sensors alone in private offices and restrooms yields a 26% and 40% energy cost savings by turning off lights when rooms are unoccupied. Likewise, daylighting controls can further reduce energy consumption by switching or dimming electric lighting when sufficient daylight is present. Well designed lighting control not only reduces costs, but also preserves non-renewable resources used to create energy.

Miro wireless controls make for easy installation and seamless integration for both homes and buildings, using RF technology instead of costly control wiring.

The occupancy sensor plugs into the power strip with a telephone style connector and activates the “sensor controlled” receptacles whenever the space is occupied.  The sensor can be mounted underneath a desk using the self adhesive surface.  An adjustable time delay of 30 seconds to 30 minutes will keep the “sensor controlled” devices ON while the space is occupied or until the area is vacated and the time delay expires.  The devices will have power restored immediately upon returning to the work area.

Why are Plug Loads important?


Many plug-in products continue to consume energy even when turned OFF; a cell phone charger left plugged into a wall receptacle continues to consume energy even when your cell phone is disconnected.  Plug loads or “phantom” loads are so prevalent in today’s buildings that they can account for as much as 15% of a homes total energy consumption and 9% of a commercial buildings total energy consumption just through plug in devices

We can help you to make home improvement choices that will increase your home’s efficiency, value, and comfort. Inexpensive items such as GreenTech’s simple installation of CFL bulbs or LED tamper proof night lites can add safety and value as well as saved energy in lights that are left off at night. Other more technical options like astronomical time clock switches can do the same. You will also be excited about alternative energy options that are becoming more affordable everyday with improved technology and government/utility incentives.

Energy Efficiency: Better for the environment – Better for your bottom line.

Commercial Retrofits

Saving on energy costs has never been more important. Facility managers and building owners evaluating every opportunity for cost savings should start with retrofitting their existing lighting systems. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates an energy-efficient lighting upgrade can cut a building’s annual lighting energy costs in half, typically a savings of about $.50 per square foot. Most of GreenTech’s upgrades deliver a two- to three-year payback, a 30 percent to 50 percent return on investment and positive cash flow that drops directly to the bottom line.

The good news is facility managers don’t have to approach the daunting task of upgrading their lighting systems alone. With the help of GreenTech ESCO, retrofitting has never been easier. GTESCO can develop energy plans and install quality energy efficient products. Along with finding public money to subsidize retrofit costs, our knowledgeable consultants may also arrange financing and can manage utility financial incentives. With the backing of GreenTech’s constant research and development, you will always stay up-to-date on the latest energy-saving technologies, such as LEDs, induction lighting, solar power and wind power.

GreenTech Energy Service Co. offers you the most current technology available to the marketplace today concerning energy management and energy cost reduction. Many products out today like High Efficiency Lighting Ballasts, Lamps, Motion Detection Equipment, Variable Speed Motor Drives and LED Lighting are lowering monthly usage. Our goal is to provide a complete cost effective analysis of upgrading to current technology along with a long term savings report.

Controls and Automation

GreenTech controls and automation offers a wide range of products for controlling building environments. Both natural and artificial light have significant influence on the well-being of humans. Suitable lighting can have a positive effect on consumer behavior or work performance. Lighting is therefore becoming increasingly important as a building automation parameter.

Many methods are used to maximize efficiency. Harvesting natural light (light sensors automatically dim lamps based on daylight entering a room) is a primary energy saver. Another is switching off artificial light sources, e.g. in corridors, staircases or WCs, as quickly as possible when these spaces are unoccupied. Lighting can be on time schedules, shutting off areas not in use (hallways in class schools for instance).

As for the newest craze in technology, wireless energy dashboards can sit in your home or business, monitor energy data from your meter and enable power saving practices such as shifting energy consumption to the time of day when electricity is cheapest. While tech firms have been trying to sell the “digital home” for years — complete with wireless networks that can do everything from control your entertainment equipment to operate high-tech security systems to roast a chicken — the new energy management tools are simple using low-cost hardware and open standards to monitor energy data

Your Energy Partner


 
Your ROI on energy efficient technologies is usually 2 years or less.  That’s like investing your money in the stock market and getting a 50% return per year for two years in a row. 
Many lighting retrofit projects can be initiated with little or no money down. In fact, we can often obtain immediate cash payments from state or utility rebate providers, providing for their customers to be significantly cash positive from day one!

Another method that qualified lighting partners provide for immediate positive cash stream is financing a project such that fixed monthly payments are significantly less than energy savings. Alternatively, sophisticated lighting partners provide a guaranteed savings mechanism based on sub-metered lighting panels and may offer a true shared savings plan, in which no fixed payments are required and the only payments you make are based on measured and verified energy savings.

Simply put, postponing a retrofit is a terrible waste of money. With GTESCO as your partner to guide you through your financial options, you will have few, if any, hurdles to both improved lighting systems and financial gain.

Minimizing Waste –Optimizing Resources

As a GreenTech Company, we are committed to reducing our waste stream as much as possible. We recycle virtually 100% of our copper wire scraps and wiring removed from jobs. Packaging is recycled and any hazardous materials such as fluorescent tubes are disposed of in a responsible manner.

While our homes are a good place to start, commercial buildings hoard 18 percent of the total energy consumption in the U.S. and represent one of the biggest opportunities for energy efficiency improvements. According to Pike Research, the market for energy management systems — like wireless sensor networks, lighting controls, automation, and heating and cooling management in buildings — will turn into a $6.8 billion-a-year market by 2020 and will generate an investment of $67.6 billion between 2010 and 2020.

It’s no secret that energy is becoming a major component of our government’s plan to stimulate new technological advances and create jobs. One of the items being pushed for energy conservation is lighting retrofits which is becoming mandatory. Government officials have moved to eliminate the use of incandescent bulbs and other out-of-date equipment within the next couple of years, and for good reason. Switching to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) can provide up to 10,000 more hours of light compared to 750 hours with incandescent bulbs. LED lighting is even better yet and becoming more affordable everyday. Both use over 80 percent less energy and decrease air conditioning bills as they emit less heat than incandescent bulbs. Standard linear fluorescent lamps and ballasts are also being upgraded in droves to more efficient T8 lamps, which can provide the same light using 50 percent less power with double the lifespan.

The vast majority of lighting retrofit projects pay for themselves in less than two years. In fact, many retrofit projects actually provide a 100% return on the investment within one year. Energy-efficient retrofits have bonus green benefits too, adding an ROI of a different kind, but just as tangible. Retrofits provide real benefits from many perspectives and ultimately contribute significantly to your bottom line and the bigger environmental picture.

DESPITE STORMY ECONOMY, PARK CITY, UT-BASED GREEN CONSTRUCTION FIRM RIDES ENVIRONMENTAL WAVE TO RAPID EXPANSION

PARK CITY, UT (April 30, 2009)—Weathering the current economy is a tough proposition for any business, with many companies forced to lower forecasts, cut costs, layoff personnel and hunker down until the storms pass.  However, Park City, UT-based green construction firm GreenTech Design/Build is forecasting rapid expansion in 2009.

The overall economy may be stone cold, but the current political and social winds are heating up for businesses based on the growing “green” economy.  Recognizing this shift, GreenTech Design/Build recently completed the process of franchising its business and has announced that it is now offering franchise opportunities across the U.S.

“After starting GreenTech Design/Build, I was amazed at the lack of resources available in the way of franchising businesses for green building as well as general construction,” said GreenTech Design/Build principal Thad Peterson.  “By combining sustainability and innovative construction into a systematic and easy-to-follow franchising model, others can now enjoy the same success and fulfillment that we have realized over the years in building green.”

On the cutting edge of green building techniques and products, GreenTech Design/Build is a construction management firm that focuses on optimizing instead of maximizing resources with the use of dynamic design and technologically advanced building practices.  The GreenTech model works to optimize and perfect the entire building process, from site selection, to design, to materials used, to construction practices.  Aside from construction, the firm also provides architectural and design consultation, as well as green products and services via its website, www.greentechdesignbuild.com.

Working with The Franchise Maker, a San Diego, CA-based company that takes businesses to the next level by helping them realize franchise wealth, GreenTech Design/Build completed all the necessary steps to franchise its business model.

“Being overwhelmed by the whole franchising process, The Franchise Maker was instrumental in keeping me motivated and focused on bringing us successfully to this end goal of offering a viable franchise system,” commented Peterson.

“GreenTech Design Build is the first business of its kind to franchise a green construction consulting business,” stated Dave Waldman.  “The GreenTech system is impressive because it is a combination of green building techniques coupled with energy efficient products that takes advantage of our culture, making this a simple turn-key business for the right entrepreneur.”

The franchising of GreenTech Design/Build provides a perfect opportunity for others across the country within the construction field or those who wish to enter the field as a construction consultant.  While construction and contracting businesses across the U.S. are sinking due to the drop in the housing market, Thad Peterson sees opportunity.

“Construction companies that are still in business are seeking ways to differentiate themselves and find new areas of income.  Franchising with a green design/build firm like ours is an excellent way to do just that.”
